Nvmismata Cimelii Caesarei Regii Avstriaci Vindobonensis: Qvorvm Rariora Iconismis Cetera Catalogis Exhibita Ivssv Mariae Theresiae Imperatricis Et Reginae Avgvstae
This 1754 Vienna catalogue of the Habsburg imperial coin cabinet, issued by order of Empress Maria Theresa and edited by Joseph Khell, Josef de France and others, reproduces its Roman coins as engraved plates. Each plate is a framed grid of obverse and reverse pairs, numbered and labelled with a Latin heading, so the pages read as a systematic typology rather than narrative art. A designer could draw on the rhythm of these paired medallion roundels, their laurel-bust portraits and classical reverse figures, and the tidy numbered plate framing for heritage or classical-themed layouts.
